00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: Welcome to Creature feature production of I Heart Radio. I'm

2
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: your host of Many Parasites, Katie Golden. I studied psychology

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: and evolutionary biology in school, and today on the show,

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: I wanna knows what we're talking about. I knows what

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: we're talking about. It's noses. We're getting to know some

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: of the most fascinating noses in the animal kingdom, from

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 1: a fantastical cryptod to the real life incredible noses that

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: you couldn't make up. Discover this more as we answer

9
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: the angel question why are bats? I mean, why are

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: why are bats? Joining me today to get nosy our

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: podcasters and comedians David Bell and Hannah Michael's welcome. Hello, Hey,

12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: how are you? I'm good. How are you guys? I'm

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: quite well, I'm sleepy. Well, yeah, you guys? Are you guys?

14
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: Are you like cryptids? Right? That's correct? Yep, Rather I do,

15
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: and I made you that's correct. I don't not like cryptids.

16
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: I've watched a lot of the X Files, right, I

17
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: think you guys, aren't. You aren't quite at the level

18
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: of you are blogging about it seven swearing that by

19
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: God you will have your revenge on Bigfoot if it's

20
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: the last thing you do. But you're between that and

21
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: being like uninterested nonbelievers, encrypted right, It's it's somewhere between there. Right. Yeah,

22
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: I would say I don't believe in most of them,

23
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: but that's part of my fascination. Right, That's part of

24
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: what makes Bigfoot cool is that, like Bigfoot is our

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: reckoning with where we came from. Yeah, we were nothing

26
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: but mammals. So let's do it like we do it

27
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: on the Discovery Channel. Exactly, exactly. Yeah, But I want

28
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: to talk to you guys about a very special cryptid

29
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: when it comes to evolutionary biology, called the nosewalker cryptids

30
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: or rhino Graddentsha. So I've never heard of these. I'm

31
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: so excited. Yes. So they are a group of animals

32
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: that German zoologist Gerald Steiner created or are they secretly

33
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: real and the FBI just doesn't want us to know? Okay? Now,

34
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: they were invented with the intention of being very silly

35
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: but to mimic serious scientific description. In fact, Steiner's descriptions

36
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: of these animals are so formal sounding and so scientific

37
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: that they have been accidentally republished as real animals by

38
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: unwitting journalists and people who will sometimes mistakenly believe they're real,

39
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: even though they are absolutely ridiculous. So Steiner wrote the

40
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: book The snow Form in Life of the Rhino Grades,

41
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: in which he describes a hundred and thirty fake species

42
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: of snouters and loving fake scientific details. I love it.

43
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: So wait, this is just a maniac Yeah, okay, most

44
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: crypt did start with just some maniac We just did Luckness.

45
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: That was definitely a maniac. Yeah, well there was the

46
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: family who saw it across the road and then and

47
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: then it became a maniac um. He thinks Hitler killed Lackness.

48
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: It sounds correct. Damn it like that sounds like something

49
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: Hitler would do. I'm very tired just in general. Actually,

50
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: I think this book was published in nineteen fifty seven,

51
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, the wild and crazy fifties, when we just

52
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: made up animals for fun. Like this was before we

53
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: had video games, so we had to write entire books

54
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: about made up animals in order to have a time.

55
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: But Steiner wrote, it was an entire book that describes

56
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty eight fake species of snouters in

57
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: loving fake scientific detail. Why well, have you ever looked

58
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: at the Star Wars wiki and seen how detailed people

59
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: go on and on about like batt O Grito, the

60
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: Star Wars fictional thing, where like the entire biology of boards.

61
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: It's fun. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Well, when I

62
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: was a kid, I actually created a entire species of

63
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: animals called zooks that were tiny, like microscopic creatures that

64
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: were like these little bipedal ants like things that had

65
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: little antenna that had like a big orb on each

66
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: end of the antenna. And I wrote out this whole

67
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: like like booklet about like they can lift weight up

68
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: to five hundred thousand times their own their own weight,

69
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: and they communicate by rubbing their orbs together and all

70
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: of this stuff, and like they can control electricity. And

71
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: like some kid in my class found this and I

72
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: was like in second grade or something, and he's like,

73
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: this isn't real. These are lies. I was like, no,

74
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: it's real, it's not lies. And then he showed it

75
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: to the assistant teacher and the teacher made me admit

76
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: it was lies. M You're not You're not still bitter

77
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: about this though, right, not at all? David. You know

78
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: you're describing what George Lucas did with medic Clarian's right, right,

79
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: that they control all energy and they're being microscopic. George

80
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: Lucas scooped second grade. Me. I just can't believe like this.

81
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: This assistant teacher was like, you have to admit that.

82
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: Stop using your imagination, admit that it's lying. Being creative

83
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: is lying. Yep, that sounds like teachers. It does. I

84
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: went to a religious school. Yeah. It. It just made

85
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: me dig in more. It's like, fine, I'm gonna I'm

86
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: gonna create war lines. What if that teacher was like

87
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: George Lucas in disguise, Yeah, going school to school and disguise,

88
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: getting ideas or the FBI inserted into the school to

89
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: prevent us from finding the truth about zooks exactly. But yeah,

90
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: So in this book, the snouters form in life with

91
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: the rhino grades uh, he describes a d species that's

92
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: commitment to the bit. Generally speaking, these fake species are

93
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: described as mouse like creatures with vestigial nubs for back legs,

94
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: and its four limbs have been modified for grasping, and

95
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: they have They all share in common a weirdly versatile

96
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: nose called ansarium, which is a made up word but

97
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: sounds science. E it sounds pretty science. Yeah, sounds n storium.

98
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: M hmm, I would mistake that for science. Yeah, it

99
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: sounds like a fancy room of a mansion. This is

100
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: the nice storium where we have cocaine exactly. So. Some

101
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: of these fake species walks with their nose, which is

102
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: will be a long leg like appendage with a weird

103
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: duck like foot on the end, or a claw, which

104
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: there have been loving illustrations of these that are incredible.

105
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: In fact, there have been fake taxidermis of these that

106
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: you can look up. I'll provide some of them in

107
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: the show notes, and they are absolutely wonderful. I mean,

108
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: it's just like, so it's so weird. It's like this

109
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: weird mouse with giant ears and then a long leg

110
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: for a nose with like a weird duck foot or

111
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 1: a claw, and I just it's it's all. It's all fake.

112
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: But I of how committed people are to try and

113
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: I guess to trick people. I'm not sure. I don't

114
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: think that's the intention. I think it's sort of a

115
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: loving thing. It's sort of like the jackalope, Like people

116
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: make like fake busts of jackalopes. But then it's really

117
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: sad because you realize the first few sightings of jackal

118
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: opes are just like rabbits with HPV. Yeah, no, there's

119
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: a real rabbit disease that causes these bunnies to have

120
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: these huge growths, these horn like growths from in bunny

121
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: HPV type virus uh that creates these facial tumors. And

122
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: it does look sometimes like antlers. Sometimes it looks like

123
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: they have antlers coming out all over their face, which

124
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: is quite horrifying. But yeah, no, you're absolutely right, Like

125
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: that's I agree that. I think that's probably where the

126
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: jackalope myth comes from. I mean, either that or some

127
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: redneck was bored, which is where a lot of these

128
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: six come from. Look, you know, I mean they did

129
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: think that when the guy who discovered the platypus brought in,

130
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: they thought it was just some some guy who like

131
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: sewed a bunch of animal parts together. So they must

132
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: have experienced other people doing that, just sewing animal parts together.

133
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: Of course, they protopuses are so weird. Oh my god,

134
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: They have poisonous barbs on their feet. They have a

135
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: third eye. What what is elector location? I still don't know. Yeah,

136
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: they sweat milk. We're going to talk about electro reception.

137
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: Later on in the show. But yeah, they don't have nipples.

138
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: They sweat milk out of their bellies. My favorite fact

139
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: about platypus they are the original Like that that I

140
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: wonder if the person who you know those nineties gatorade ats,

141
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: I wonder if they just like saw a platypus. Yeah,

142
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: where people are sweating gatorade. That is I like that

143
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: that it's like a platypus DNA that we would be

144
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: able to sweat gatorade to feed our young What if

145
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: platypuses are where we're heading like evolutionarily speaking, Like, what

146
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: if it's not that they're weird, it's just that they're

147
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: they're the answer right, Well, we'd be we'd be going back.

148
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: We'd be going back to laying eggs, know what, or

149
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: we're going forward to laying eggs. Maybe laying eggs is

150
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: very efficient. But also if you like also sweat milk

151
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: and have weird, weird bills. And here's the thing, we're

152
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: too smart to lay eggs. We need some sort of

153
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: um motivation to have kids. That's why sex feels good. Sure,

154
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: but eggs are delicious of our unfertilized eggs, and we

155
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: would stop propagating like you'd be like, I'm going to

156
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: keep one. Okay, there is that if we evolved to

157
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: have eggs again, that we would just our species would

158
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: die out because we would make omelets out of all

159
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: of our own human eggs. I mean, I don't understand

160
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: why people have kids, so this could be my not

161
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: did I'll let's stick a pin in that thought about

162
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: the end of the human race. Uh, back to the snouters.

163
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: Some of these species will use their okay, the fake species.

164
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: I have to keep saying fake species otherwise someone's going

165
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: to make a comment about like Katie Golden's Katie Golden

166
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: spreading lies again. Um. They sometimes use their noses like

167
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: a weird branching membrane that comes out of their nose

168
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: to catch fish like a net. Some have giant ears

169
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: that they flap around and fly with, and they use

170
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: their nose as a rudder to steer, and some even

171
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: have multi pronged noses that they used to walk on.

172
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: And I have very magnanimously provided you guys with pictures

173
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: of all of these interesting fake animals. Some of them

174
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: are some of them are probably using real animal parts

175
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: of fake taxidermy, which is cool. Some of the shrews. Yeah, well,

176
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: cryptids are always horrifying for animals, right, Like it's just

177
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: people hacking up animals we time. Yeah, yeah, often, Yeah,

178
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: this one's awesome. Yeah. What year I need to know though,

179
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: because of the ears and the rudder one? What year

180
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: did Dumbo come out? Oh, that's a good question. So

181
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: the book the Snatters came out in nineteen fifty seven,

182
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: Dumbo the movie came out. Now not the tim Burton,

183
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: damn it. No one's looking up the tim Burton. No,

184
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: so God Disney is going to sue the crap out

185
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: of this, poor Germans. Yeah so, I mean, but I

186
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: think that the whole like using using giant ears to

187
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: fly sort of a a classic kind of like I

188
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: think they were like these old beastiary books way in

189
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: the medieval times when they would speculate all these hilarious

190
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: things about animals of like, oh, yeah, well this animals

191
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: got bigger, so they use it to fly? Why not?

192
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah. You'd see something once and then

193
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: you'd commissioned an artist to draw it and be like

194
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: close enough, and then an elephant is basically just a

195
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: cow with a big nose and mad eyes. Yep. Did

196
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: you ever go to the Best Area exhibit at LACMA

197
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: It was I did. It's amazing, amazing. I love it.

198
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 1: I love the there's the My favorite one is the

199
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: cow that parts flames. What's that called? The cow? It's oh,

200
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: it's got a name an somewhere as dragon. It is

201
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: an ast dragon. I have to look up the name.

202
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: Could they possibly have named it the Bonacon? That's right? Okay, yeah,

203
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: Actually I think we talked about this like years ago

204
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: on the podcast The Bonacon. It's a it's a cow

205
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: that spews flames out of it. But which is funny

206
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: because there are actually like there's the Bombardier beetle that

207
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: sprays hot caustic uh chemicals out of its But oh,

208
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: was this was this medieval crazy person accidentally predicting global warming? Sure,

209
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: let's say that it's more fun a time traveler trying

210
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: to put global warming in a way that wouldn't get

211
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: them burned as a witch back in the day. Exactly,

212
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: it sounds right. As strange as these mythical rhino grades are,

213
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: they're really not far off from how incredible animal noses

214
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: can be. Take the star nosed mole who has a

215
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: multi pronged nose that looks like a mini legged starfish.

216
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: Each of these fleshy protuberances helps the blind mole since

217
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: vibrations underground to hunt down worms and insects, and as

218
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: well soon discuss there are animals who are us as

219
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: strange as what the imagination can come up with when

220
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: it comes to noses. Who was the first animal to

221
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: develop a sense of smell? Probably something like Lancelet, a weird,

222
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: warm like marine animal who almost looks like a fish,

223
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: but it's not quite a fish. It's sort of a

224
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: pre fish with a notochord, a bundle of nerves that

225
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: runs down its back instead of a spinal cord, a

226
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: mouth but no jaws, and eye spots instead of eyeballs,

227
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: and of course it's got its fair share of tentacles

228
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: around its head. They have no nose to really speak of,

229
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: but they are the most ancient animal known to have

230
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: old factory receptors smell cells that run along its body.

231
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: Not quite the sophistication of a pair of nostrils as

232
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: fish would develop, but starting to get there. So, guys,

233
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: I feel like when we think about fish, we don't

234
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: really think about their noses. It's no oversight I think

235
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: we think about our noses and just imagine that they

236
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't work underwater, and kind of just assume fish don't

237
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: have them. Maybe. Yeah, I've definitely pictured a fish with

238
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: a human nose before. Just for fun, I texted you

239
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: a photo of a star nose small by the way,

240
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: because they look like they exploded. Yeah, they look like

241
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: they had a cartoon cigar, Yes, a cartoon exploding cigar

242
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: and it burst their face or they ran too fast

243
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: into a wall and its smoothed their their nose. I

244
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: used to beg my parents for one. Um, oh, yeah,

245
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: they can just get you a star nosemall. Yeah, I'm sure,

246
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's fine. They were holding out on you. Yeah,

247
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, no, we don't think about fish having noses.

248
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, like if we tried to

249
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: breathe or smell underwater, we couldn't. We would drown. H

250
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean thinking about out of fish with

251
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: a human nose, by the way, that I feel like

252
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: that is my sleep paralysis demon, just like the nose

253
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: standing over me. We have found a way to come

254
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: to land. Now we will drag you underwater. But you know,

255
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: fish do have nostrils. You've seen a fish, You've seen

256
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: a couple of little little nostril holes. Uh, And they do,

257
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: in fact smell out of those those little nose holes.

258
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: So smell is actually a really important since for a

259
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: fish because they have to use it to hunt for

260
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: food or to avoid predation. But you know, for most fish,

261
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: it's just like a couple of little nostril holes. And

262
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: we are going to talk about a fish who does

263
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: not go for subtlety when it comes to their face parts.

264
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: So a unicorn fish is exactly what it sounds like.

265
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: It's a real life unicorn in the form of a

266
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: tropical fish who lives in the Indo Pacific Ocean. So

267
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: this is also known as a nasal fish, which I

268
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: think I like unicorn fish better. They are a genus

269
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: of fish species with what looks like a long quote nose,

270
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: So it's technically not a nose. It is a rostral protruberance,

271
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: which isn't I like that rostral protuberance. It's a fleshy

272
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 1: horn extension of their forehead. But it looks like the

273
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: fish has a dangle nose. It really does. Yeah, it

274
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: looks like a fish with a with a dainty as

275
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: nose here, very long, very long, dainty nose. Yeah, like

276
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: a long, thin nose, very serious looking fish. The fish

277
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: looks offended, right, it looks snooty. And maybe I think

278
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: it is because of the nose. It's like when once

279
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: you have a nose to look down on it, I

280
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: feel like you kind of look snody. Yeah, the fish

281
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: looks like I'm met at the fish for having more

282
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: money than me. Yeah, and I don't think I don't

283
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: think that's accurate, but I want to rob the fish.

284
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: It looks like Mr Burns. It looks like Mr Burns does. Yeah,

285
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: it absolutely does. These fish range from tan coloration to

286
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: cool colors like purpleish pink blue. Sometimes they're white. Sometimes

287
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: they have fetching little red freckles and blue lipstick. So

288
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: that nose really isn't a nose at all. It serves

289
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: no nasal function and it is not attached to their nostrils.

290
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: So unicornfish is very accurate title it is. It's just

291
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: a fleshhorn coming out of their forehead. So I do

292
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: want to go into a bit about why fish don't

293
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: have human noses, Like have you ever asked yourself that question? Like, Hey,

294
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 1: why don't a fish just have a nose like I have.

295
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: You know, they just have these little nostrils, but they

296
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: never have like a full on human humanoid nose. They don't.

297
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: They don't. They also like don't have any kind of

298
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: mammalian nose. They don't have like a cat nose or

299
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: a dog nose like a cow knows. I know, now

300
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: it's cute. It's because it's horrifying. What it's a human nose?

301
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: Why is that? It's like a human nose on a

302
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: fish frightens and confuses me. But like a cat knows

303
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: on a fish, it's cute. Now. I would argue that

304
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: a fleshy human nose on any animal would be frightening, right,

305
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: there's no animal that would be improved by a human nose. Well,

306
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: it's it's the same reason a lot of cryptics are

307
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: human parts on animals, that it horrifies us to come

308
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: face to face with the fact that we're just animals

309
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: and to put ourselves onto other species. The idea that

310
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: maybe someone down the line had sex with an animal,

311
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: I think you're thinking more into it than people who

312
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: come up. I'm not sure anyone. I think that might

313
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: be a youth thing. Dave okay, ok of make a note,

314
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's very uncanny valley once she starts sticking

315
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: human parts on an animal. There was a children's book

316
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: that I'm just remembering right now where it was like

317
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: about these cats, cat like creatures that would walk on

318
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: their hind legs, but for whatever reason, the artists decided

319
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: to give them full on human noses, and it scared

320
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: the dickens out of me. Nightmares. That's freaking When walks

321
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: on her hind legs, it already freaks me up. She

322
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: walks through the house on her hind legs, just how

323
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: do you? How do humans? Yeah, just casually on her

324
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: way to the litter box, like just a little rolled

325
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: up newspaper under tucked under her arms, just like gott

326
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: to keep up with the world affairs, little cat newspaper

327
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: the news. Let's check out the muse for today. L

328
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: O L perfect. But so fish, why don't they have noses?

329
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: What the heck? Are they just too good for noses?

330
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: Because they have nostrils. Well, so, the nose does a

331
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: lot of great work in protecting us in our terrestrial environment,

332
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: and it is we actually use our noses for breathing,

333
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: and it's connected to our lungs and throat, and so

334
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: it's important to filter out air impurities with these little

335
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: hairs inside of our noses, as well as to heat

336
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: up the air before it hits our lungs. And I'll

337
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: go into more detail about that later. But fish, on

338
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: the other hand, do not use their nostrils to breathe.

339
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: It's just to smell. So the they're basically like pumping

340
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: water in and out of their nostrils just to capture

341
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: some smells with their old factory receptors, whereas their breathing

342
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: is done through their mouth and their guilts, So they

343
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: pump water in through their mouth and then through their gills.

344
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, then there those little nostrils really have nothing

345
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: to do with breathing, just for sniff in the water.

346
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: So you're saying, I'm a fish, Are you a mouth breather?

347
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: I can't. My nose is just decorative at this point.

348
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: It's I can't smell anything allergy. It's yeah, I I

349
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: apparently you can't say I lost my sense of smell anymore.

350
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: People freak out, but that COVID Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,

351
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: I just fine. I lost it like five years ago.

352
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: That said, I mean having the ability to breathe separately

353
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: than smell is would be a godsend, right, Yeah, you

354
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: kidding for the bad smells. I'm very sensitive to smells,

355
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: and sometimes I like get close to passing out because

356
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: I just refused to breathe when there's a bad smell. Yeah. Yeah,

357
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: it's just like I don't want the bad smells in

358
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: in in my face, inside my nose. You know, it

359
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: can be so strong you can almost taste it because

360
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: they're exactly and like breathing through your mouth can help

361
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. Then it's just like, now the bad

362
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: poop smells are getting in my mouth and I don't

363
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: like that. I don't like that idea at all. Yeah,

364
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: it would be nice to be a fish then, so

365
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 1: you get to just poop in the water and not

366
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: and forget about it. Yeah, and the farts just go

367
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: straight up right exactly exactly. Let the let the terrestrial

368
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: creatures deal with our fart. Do you fit sleep fish fart?

369
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't really think they do all

370
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: that much. I know manities fart like a lot which

371
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: are which are mammals, and they eat a lot of

372
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: a lot of vegetation, a lot of fiber and they

373
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: actually use their farts to be able to manage their

374
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: their floating. But it's a good question. I don't really

375
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: think fish fish fart that much, if at all, they're

376
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: missing out. So generally speaking, when fish have a a

377
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: nose like structure, like you see a fish and it's

378
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: got like a protuberance that looks like a nose, chances

379
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: are it has nothing to do with it being an

380
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: actual nose. It's probably just a rostrum or a fleshy

381
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: extension that has nothing to do with their actual nostrils,

382
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 1: or or like sort of old factory system, which is

383
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: exactly the case with the uniform cornfish. Despite having this

384
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: very mr burns like nose, it's not a nose. It's

385
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: just it's just a horn. And here's the thing. I

386
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: don't think researchers necessarily does what what it's for. I

387
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: have a guess, Yeah, what do you think to creep

388
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: out predators Like predators are just like, oh no, I'm

389
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: not eating that. I don't know, I'm not exactly sure

390
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: what that is. They look at them head on and

391
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: it's like I'm gonna eat this fish, and then the

392
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: fish turns and profile like oh oh, I don't like that.

393
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: You know, are there is there a species that survives

394
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: based on creeping out other species? I mean besides humans.

395
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they're sure there's a lot of defensive behaviors

396
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: that are meant to spook off predators. But in terms

397
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: of like like there are butterflies or caterpillars that have

398
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: these big I spots meant to scare predators. In terms

399
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: of just like creeping them out, they are like some

400
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: caterpillars and spiders that look like poop. So you know,

401
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: I guess that's at putting right exactly. Yeah, that's that

402
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: seems to make the most sense in the animal kingdom.

403
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: I just like the idea of a certain one that

404
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: the predators just like mm hmm. Yeah, you're just unsettling. Yeah,

405
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what's going on with you,

406
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: like a deer that has human hands and and just

407
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: the predators like, I mean, I don't wanna, right, it's

408
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: not like an actual threat to me, but no things. Yeah,

409
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: if you're really hungry, you'll eat everything, but the hands

410
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: probably also just like unicorns, these unicorn fish are apparently

411
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: very tasty. Yeah. Nice, You just have to get past

412
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: the idea of eating a fish with a human nose again,

413
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: it's it's I think that's how it would work, right,

414
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,479
Speaker 1: Like if someone slapped this on your plate, like served

415
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: it to you, you'd be like, no, thanks, Like I

416
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: don't see this a lot at restaurants, I assume. I mean, yeah,

417
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: I've I've never eaten a unicorn fish. I think i'd

418
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: remember we don't live near where they are. Yeah, but

419
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: i'd have to assume you have to like start children

420
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: on unicorn fish, young gir els. They're not gonna yeah,

421
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: because it's like eating a Simpsons character, Like they look

422
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: like a Simpsons character that the profile is. I mean,

423
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: it's so Simpson's esk. It's weird. It's like it's like

424
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: a cartoon face. If if people haven't looked it up,

425
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: definitely look it up. It's like I don't know like

426
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: if I was. This is why I don't go in

427
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: the ocean. First of all, I don't go in the um.

428
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: And it's not because the sharks. Is because of things

429
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: like this or like crabs. When it's like, oh, yeah,

430
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: the ocean has like ocean spiders and nose fish, it's like, no,

431
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: I don't need to be in there. I don't need

432
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: to be amongst that. Most of the crabs are in

433
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: the sand. Yeah, that's even worse. I'd love to just

434
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: like sort of why lay at the bottom of the ocean.

435
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: Just let all of them crawl over me, you know,

436
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: use my body as a playground. Where is pods? Deep

437
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: sea is so pods and crabs and see spiders get

438
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: all you know, it's gonna be fun. Tickles, It's lots

439
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: of tickles on the bottom of the ocean. Well, I

440
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: can't go to the next section without mentioning the sawfish.

441
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: So the sawfish are found all over the world in

442
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: tropical and subtropical waters. They are a species of ray,

443
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: so rays are related to sharks and manta raise and

444
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: the sawfish have a long, flat rostrum. So again, the

445
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: rostrum is that pointy uh, sort of like fleshy protuberance

446
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: from their head, which is not a nose but looks

447
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: quite a bit like a nose. Uh. And for the sawfish,

448
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: their rostrum is flat with chainsaw like teeth all the

449
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: way around it, just like a chainsaw. Hot. Yeah, what

450
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: what's happened? What's what? What's their problem? Like? What is

451
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: this coming in? Hot? With the judgments are sorry, like what,

452
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: what's their deal? Why isn't there more animals like this?

453
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: Just them? It sounds like you're saying, what's all of

454
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: our problem for not having a face? Chainsaw? Actually honest

455
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: kind of yeah, yeah, well you know, I guess uh

456
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: like different strokes for different folks is when it comes

457
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: to evolution. Um, So it really does look like you

458
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: stuck as sideways chainsaw onto sort of a flattened shark.

459
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: And there is a purpose of for this thing. Um.

460
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: First of all, so those teeth all the way around

461
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: the rostrum, you might wonder like, well, how did teeth

462
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: get over there? And that is a correct concern because

463
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: they aren't really teeth. They're not teeth like you would

464
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: find in your mouth. They are actually hardened dermal denticles.

465
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: So I dentical is a toothlike projection. So it can

466
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: be like a fleshy projection often found in marine animals.

467
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: But it can be fleshy, it can also be very hard,

468
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: which is the case for sawfish. Sharks also have a

469
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: lot of denticles on their skin, usually microscopic denticles. It's

470
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: what gives their skin this sort of harsh sand papery

471
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: feel um. But for the sawfish, they are these rather

472
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: large denticles that are hard and they look like teeth,

473
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: but they're technically not like mouth mouth teeth. They're not

474
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: mouth bones. So they can actually grow to be quite large,

475
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: up to about seven and a half meters, which is

476
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: about twenty five ft, which let a lot of people

477
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: back in the day, back in olden times, to think

478
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: that the sawfish would use its face saw to chop

479
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: people up and eat them. Mhm. I feel like it's

480
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: reasonable to think that if you came across this you

481
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: might never want to go into the ocean again. I

482
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 1: don't know if that's the case for you, or if

483
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: it's just New England not just oceans. Like, there's nothing

484
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: in the ocean that makes me want to go in

485
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: the ocean. We're just breezing. Pass the word denticles here,

486
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: dental tentacles. Yeah, dental tent tentacles. That's wonderful. What word

487
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: it is a good word, isn't it? I love it?

488
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: Dur so dermal denticles because that just means skin, skin bumps,

489
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: but you know, dermal denticles. Yeah, I mean, like I

490
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: love the idea of like some olden times, like because

491
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, back in the day, people couldn't just go

492
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: scuba diving all the time. So you had this like

493
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: old fashioned scuba suit, you know, with a big, big

494
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: diving helmet. And this guy comes back up after his

495
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: adventure and they're like, well, what's it like down in

496
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: the ocean. He's like, yeah, ocean swall of chainsaws. It

497
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: was like, yep, yep, sharks, sharks have chainsaws. What's a chainsaw? Well,

498
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: you don't even know. You just need to know. Sharks

499
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: got him, and we can't go back in. Yeah, never

500
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: going back in because when you see one of these,

501
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: there's always I'm sure this how sea monsters happen. It's

502
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: like you see something like this and you're not even

503
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: sure if it's the adult or baby. Where it's like

504
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: do these get any bigger? Hey, how would you know? Yeah?

505
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: Giants squids are some of the few um cryptids to

506
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: be proven real because you describe that people are like no,

507
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: no dinner plates, right, and yeah, they can grow up

508
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: to be a healthy size there, you know, they're healthy boys.

509
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: They get pretty big. So the saw is not used

510
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: to chop up people or even to chop up large

511
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: marine animals. Humans are actually too big for sawfish to eat,

512
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: but the saw is used for hunting, so they can

513
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: use this saw to locate prey because like we're talking

514
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: about earlier, Hannah, Uh, they have electro receptors in it.

515
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: So there are these tiny bulbs used by sharks and

516
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: by these sawfish in there basically in their snout area.

517
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:52,479
Speaker 1: For for the sawfish, it's in this the chainsaw nos area.

518
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: But these tiny bulbs used for electro reception are called

519
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: the ampule of Lorenzini, which I want. So I don't

520
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: know what champion is, probably Lauren. I think lauren Zini

521
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: probably named them, like, these are the ampule of me, Laurens.

522
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: That's what I want named after me? Actually kind of

523
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: that's something, right, yeah, actually leave your mark on the world. Yeah,

524
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: but yeah, So they these these little receptors can detect

525
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: electrical signals fish make as their muscles move. So every

526
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: time your muscles moving, even every time you think there

527
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: are there is a very faint electrical signal that is

528
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: released um and that can be detected by sharks in general,

529
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: and by this sawfish through its cool chainsaw noves. It

530
00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: is probably the coolest fish, right, sure? He has lots

531
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: of cool fish. I mean, what counts as a fish,

532
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: because as far as I could tell, scientifically, the word

533
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: fish has no right. There was a whole thing about that,

534
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: like cuttlefish are fish. That fish is like a weird Yeah,

535
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: cuttlefish are mollusks. Yeah, fish is. It's similar to when

536
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: we talk about reptiles. It's kind of a weird classification. Yeah,

537
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: I mean, but we call jellyfish fish. We just we

538
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: just throw that so casually, Yeah, I would say if

539
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: the name is fish, like, if it has fish in

540
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: the name, that's maybe a lie. My rule is always

541
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: that if it's got like a vertical tail and gills,

542
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: then it's probably some sort of fish, like if I

543
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: saw it in the ocean, which I would never go into.

544
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: But if it's got like a horizontal, floppy tail and

545
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: like some sort of hole for air, then I'm sometimes

546
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: but sometimes it's a but sometimes it's an amphibian. Sure, gotcha,

547
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: boom roasted nice broad strokes, oh boy. Yeah. Like basically, yeah,

548
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: I mean like fish, And yeah, we do call a

549
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: lot of things like jellyfish fish. Jellyfish are not fish.

550
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, in general, I think Dave, that is a

551
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: good call like, if it's got gills, if it's got

552
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: either cartilage or bones, uh, you know at least a notochord,

553
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: If not a spine, then it's a fish. If it's

554
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: made out of google like a jellyfish, it's not a fish.

555
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: If it's just all goo, or if it's all squish

556
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: like a like a cuttlefish, it's not a fish. That

557
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: that is actually you know they're related to squid and

558
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: and octopuses. Um. But these sawfish are indeed fish, just

559
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: like just like sharks are sharks is fish um. Whereas

560
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: as we know, whales are not fish because they are

561
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: confused mammals who went back inside the ocean. Perfect yeah

562
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: their failure mammals right like their mammals, Yeah exactly, yeah, yeah,

563
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: Like I just worship dolphins so much. Yeah, they just

564
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: decided to hold their bravery time. Ye. Why do we

565
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: think they're so smart? It's just insulation, it's brain insulation.

566
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: They get cold. Speaking of weird noses, they move their

567
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: nose to like the top of their heads. Weirdos, right, weirdos. Yeah.

568
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: So the sawfish right, who who's not a nose but

569
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 1: rostrum nose like saw deely? Yeah, can detect fish with

570
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: the electro reception. It also has a more sinister use,

571
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: which is smacking prey, so it does kind of use

572
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: it like a sauce, So it's not they don't really

573
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: slice and dice up prey like a saw wood. It

574
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: doesn't rotate and like make little little noises like an

575
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: actual saw. Um m m. Sorry, yeah, it's more like

576
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: well like you get like all around your your rostering. Yeah,

577
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't quite. That would be fun like a little

578
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: like serving little or derves at like a fish party,

579
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: and it's got all or derves all all around. I

580
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: like that, but not probably not really not in reality,

581
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: you liar. But yeah, I mean it's more just like

582
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: it smacks them hard and it stuns them. Probably just

583
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: startles them more than anything, because this thing comes out

584
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: of nowhere with a software face. And then once they've

585
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: smacked them and incapacitated, and then they get to chomp

586
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: them up with their actual mouth, uh and and they

587
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: can use it for defense against predators or people who

588
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: are silly enough to like pick up a sawfish and

589
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 1: be like, hey, look Martha found sawfish, and then it's

590
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,479
Speaker 1: gonna cut you because you know, yeah, while they don't

591
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: prey on people. They don't hunt people. They will like

592
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: smack you if you It's get everything about this species

593
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: is telling us not to do that. Feel like if

594
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 1: you do that, it seems just generally good for them

595
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: to have a saw on their face, Like it's not

596
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: one use it's just look, we got a saw on

597
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: our face. We're gonna use it the way we're going

598
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: to use it. Right. Well, are they evolving you think

599
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: so that they can be a chainsaw when organic chainsaw?

600
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: You think that's the goal. Maybe speak for them. I

601
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: can't speak for them, but I'm sure they are like

602
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: some sawfish like going around like slapping their slapping their

603
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: rosterrom going like we get some batteries in this baby,

604
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: get some you get a motor going, and now we're

605
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: cooking with gas. Now we'll see who's the apex predator

606
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: trying to unseek great white sharks. Yeah. All they need

607
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: then is like a huge woman knows some human hands,

608
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: a hockey, a hockey mask, a hockey man, sure, a

609
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: little hockey mask. Someone someone make a cryptid some maniacs stuff.

610
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: One of these fish. Would the would the Jason origin

611
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 1: story of the sawfish be that someone like beached beach

612
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 1: didn't turned into a ghost underwater, because isn't it Like

613
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 1: with Jason movies, it's like he was drowned as a child.

614
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: He drowned, but not really uh. And in the first

615
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 1: movie it was his mom who killed all the people,

616
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: and then in the second one he gets his mother's

617
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: head and it turns out he hadn't drowned. And then

618
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: I think in the sixth one, Tommy Jarvis um drowns

619
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: him successfully in the lake and then he stuck down

620
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: there until a tele kinetic powers of Tina Shepherd resurrects him.

621
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 1: If you wanted to know this, why would because there's

622
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: so many scary things. So yeah, in this version, the

623
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: fish would be um on the land. The fish would

624
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: be yeah, beached right. You know, there's something to be

625
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: scared of. The only time I touched the jellyfish, it

626
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: was a condom. It's I mean, that's something that scared of.

627
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: I guess it's creepy in there. It's been a long time.

628
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't want it. You can't even drink the water

629
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: like it's it's you don't It doesn't want us. It's

630
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: literally trying to push us out of it all the time.

631
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 1: That's just wave after wave of the ocean, like get out,

632
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: get out? What's not what's not inviting about? Like saw

633
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: face fish and likes fish? Yeah, really fostering a welcoming environment, yeah.

634
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: Seeweed tangling your ankles. Yeah, just give me a little tickle,

635
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: something brushes up against you, Just a little tickle. High there,

636
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: it's a perfect I got a software nose. Hither Why

637
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: are fish and reptiles satisfied with nostrils while mammals go

638
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: all out for noses? It actually comes down mainly to thermoregulation.

639
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: Reptiles and other cold blooded animals are ectotherms who rely

640
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: on their environment to thermo regulate, like sitting in the

641
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: sun or shade. Mammals and coincidentally birds as well, are

642
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: warm blooded or endotherms and rely on internal body regulation

643
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: to keep our temperature steady. Endotherms have more rapid metabolisms

644
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: and must breathe the faster while making sure our internal

645
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: body temperature is warm but not too warm and not

646
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: too cold. So our noses actually perform a very important

647
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: function and air conditioner heat or purified and humidifier all

648
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: in one. Breathing quickly means that without a humidifier, we

649
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: would lose a lot of our internal moisture. So our

650
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 1: noses have structures called turbinates, bony protrusions. Bony protrusions covered

651
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: in a mucus membrane. The cilia hairs and mucus membrane

652
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: captures air as it passes and moistens it warms it

653
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: or cools it and purifies it so once it reaches

654
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: the sensitive tissues of our lungs, it's gone through a

655
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: whole premium treatment to make it suitable for our bodies.

656
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: When we return, we're going to discover even more uses

657
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: for noses other than sniffing and conditioning air and folks,

658
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: it's batty. The joke is, we're actually we're gonna we're

659
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: gonna talk about bats. We're gonna talk about bats. We'll

660
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: be our bat Belts are mostly known for their incredible

661
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: ability to echolocate, sending out clicks and re seeving spatial

662
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: information based on the echoes they get back, but not

663
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: all bats rely all that much on echolocation, such as

664
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: the mega bat. Fruit bats larger bats who like to

665
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: munch on tasty fruit all day, and bats aren't really blind,

666
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,439
Speaker 1: they have functional eyes. It's just the bats who fly

667
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: dark night skies or hunt at night rely on their

668
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: echolocation much more than their eyesight. And while it may

669
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: not seem obvious, bat noses are some of the most

670
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 1: fascinating honkers in the animal kingdom. So we're gonna talk

671
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: about bat noses what everyone's been waiting for. Yeah, So, like,

672
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: I feel like this is bringing it back full circle

673
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 1: to the rhino grades, the fake like weird true mice

674
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 1: with the huge noses that they walk on or like

675
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: fly with their ears and stuff. Because like bats are

676
00:44:55,880 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: basically as incredible as like what this zoo all just

677
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: came up with in terms of like the diversity of

678
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: noses and uses for the noses. It's really incredible. Um. So,

679
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: you know, bats are mostly known for their sonar, but

680
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: they also use their noses in ways that are really important.

681
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: So some bats actually even use their noses in echolocation.

682
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: So they can echolocate with like their mouth or their

683
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,959
Speaker 1: tongue or their throat, but they can also echolocate using

684
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: their nose basically as like a resonance chamber to send

685
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: out clicks like a megaphone. But they also have incredible

686
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: diversity in terms of like the shapes that noses come

687
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: in and the functions that they do. So one really

688
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: cool example is how vampire bats use their nose. So

689
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 1: they use those large upturn sort of like like pointy

690
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: shaped nose, uh to literally feel for heat coming off

691
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: of the blood pumping through their hosts. Arteries. Oh, it's creeps.

692
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 1: That's crazy. It looks like they're gently nuzzling their their

693
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: host like they'll be on like cow leg and you'll

694
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: see them kind of like sniffing around sort of nuzzling

695
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: with their nose. But it's really they're hunting down to

696
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: find where that tasty vein is so that they can

697
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: think in and get get some nice blood. Can you

698
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 1: switch tabs? I just want to see that nose one

699
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 1: more time? Did we know that? Okay, that's vagina. Sorry,

700
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: that's not that's not that's not the vampire. But let

701
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: me get a vampire bat. Oh, I'm sorry. Okay, that's okay,

702
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: it's it's coming that with a vagina face. I'm sorry.

703
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: I actually find no, it's very funny. Uh No, I

704
00:46:50,120 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: actually think vampire bats are super super cute. Oh yeah,

705
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 1: did you write they have such cute little faces. Yeah,

706
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: they just want some blood. Give them my blood? Yeah?

707
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: Do they When we called them vampire bats, was it

708
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: just because they drink blood? Uh? Did we know at

709
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: the time that they apparently can sniff out blood like

710
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: a vampire would too, Like that's really vampiric of them

711
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: to be like I can sense your blood with my nose. Weird, right,

712
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: as if vampires are maybe actually real and the FBI

713
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: is just trying to keep us from finding out the truth. Yeah,

714
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: I mean they are real. There are people with an

715
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: issue that makes them obsessed with drinking blood, and there

716
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: are also people who react really badly to sunlight because

717
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 1: they have a condition. All of these things affect humans.

718
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: They're just very rare and often psychological, right. And then

719
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: there are people who dress up like bats to fight crime, right,

720
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: that's true life people who do that. Yes, But the

721
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: vampire bet noses actually have these like little tiny pores

722
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: in their nose that are these they're called pit organs,

723
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: and they're these like little uh thermo sensory organs that

724
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: can like actually detect heat coming out of it, and

725
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: so they can detect It's sort of like you know

726
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: how sometimes doctors have that vein finder. It's like this

727
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: thing that can can show you where the vein is,

728
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: so they can if someone's got hard to see veins

729
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 1: in their arm, they can give you injections more easily.

730
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: It's like that, except they use it to drink your bed.

731
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: Little cuties, little stinkers. They're very cute. If I wasn't

732
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: afraid of the specific picture that you posted, he looks like, uh,

733
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: like someone just threw a surprise birthday party. Like he's

734
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 1: a five year old boy and they've surprised him with

735
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: a birthday party. Is it's a bunch of this yeah,

736
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: right right, Like if rabies wasn't an issue, I would

737
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: totally volunteer to get my blood sucked by one of

738
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: these keys. Um. But yeah, if you throw a surprise

739
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: party for like a vampire bat, it's it's just like

740
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of cow legs that are bleeding. It's like, oh,

741
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have so cute. Um, so cute. But vampire

742
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: bats are not the only bats with a interesting specialized nose.

743
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: I can't There are so many different bat noses. I

744
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: if I talked about every bat nos this, it would

745
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: be the whole podcast for the rest of all known

746
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: time and space. And I can't do that. I simply can't,

747
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: but I beg you please look up just like google

748
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: bat noses and admire the bat noses. Is there one

749
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: with human nose? There one with a human nose? Yeah? Um,

750
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: depends on what your definition of human noses, like a

751
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: fleshy human nose, like a no, well not quite no,

752
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: I would say no. I would say, uh no, but

753
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: they have like mc esure drawing noses, like a puzzle

754
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: of a nose horseshoe. Bats use their noses for really

755
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: interesting things, so they have, uh, these incredibly strange nose

756
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: structures that it looks like a weird m c esure drawing.

757
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit uh, Georgio o'keef hannas you were

758
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: saying earlier, a little slightly slightly Georgio keep asked, I

759
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: would say, you know, slightly, Uh, I could have been

760
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: reading into it. Well, look, you know that it's got

761
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting folds and things in shape and stuff.

762
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: So they are shaped so interestingly because these folds and

763
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: flaps and in beautiful nose structures can help focus sound frequencies,

764
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: so they can specifically focus their sonar better, which really

765
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: it's like it seems to defy physics, these noses and

766
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:22,720
Speaker 1: I love them. And then there's also the sword nose bat,

767
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: which is that a sword on your nose? Are you

768
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: just happy to see me? I say to the bat

769
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: trying to deduce a bat? Anyways, Yeah, they have they

770
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: have a dang sword on their face. It's just a

771
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: big long sword. It's a genus bats or a genus Yeah,

772
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: I know, right, congratulations big nose energy. Uh you know

773
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: how much fun we would have with swords on our

774
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: faces or like horns. I guess if we had like

775
00:51:55,080 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: a unicorn horn, it would yeah, we would. I we

776
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: would either be having a blast or we wouldn't exist

777
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: anymore because we would all died out stabbing each other

778
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 1: with our horns. Right, but like we wouldn't invent I'd

779
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: use it to change the channel. Oh yeah, I'd use

780
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: it to change the channel and my television remote sensible

781
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: chuckle weekly Um No, I mean we would definitely. We

782
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: would definitely sword fight ourselves to death, wouldn't we If

783
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: we had face swords, we'd we'd have like we'd have

784
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: to cork them. People would be sharpening them, you know,

785
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: like real edge lords would be like sharpening their their horns.

786
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: I mean they would have to grow during puberty because

787
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: you can't give birth to that and that is the

788
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 1: worst time to start having a hord. Yeah. Now, luckily

789
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: for these bats, uh, these nose, these sword noses are

790
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: actually not sharp. They're not hard, They're flappy there. It's like,

791
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, like a kid ear kind of looks like

792
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: it's a sharp point, but you poke it into flippity

793
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: floppy like that. Yeah. So, uh, they are a genus

794
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: about species that looks like they have a long blade

795
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: coming out of the tops of their noses. It's longer

796
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: than their entire head. So it's quite impressive. Uh. They

797
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: are found in South and Central America, and they are

798
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: insectivores like a lot of bats. Uh, and so insectivore

799
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: of bat species, sonar is really important to them for hunting,

800
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: to be able to find those little insects at night.

801
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: And so these bats have a bat hunting technique known

802
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: as aerial hawking. So aerial hawking just sort of like

803
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,959
Speaker 1: the bird the hawk is a technique where the bat

804
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 1: catches insects midflight. And because they need to do this,

805
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: having super precise, really strong echolocation skills is super important

806
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: and there is a research on there these interesting noses,

807
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: and they are finding that this is likely an adaptation

808
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: and to be able to use more precise echolocations. So

809
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: research seems to suggest that the rainforest canopy environment that

810
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: they live in requires them to have adaptive sonar that

811
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: allows them to precisely target prey at long distances, even

812
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: though there's a lot of stuff, like a lot of

813
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 1: sort of extra stuff and and noise going on inside

814
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: of their forest environment. And then also that this sonar

815
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: is so precise that they can actually detect the glinting

816
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 1: echolocation off of an insect's beating wings. So like they

817
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,479
Speaker 1: hit like imagine just like you kind of glance off

818
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: of a moths beating wing and you know where it is.

819
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: It's amazing, that's pretty that's impressive. Batman, they're like that

820
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: makes sense. Well, they're they're like man bat, you know,

821
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,280
Speaker 1: bat bat, they're they're bat bats. The bats, they're bats.

822
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: They're just bats, all right. It doesn't have to be

823
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: a man all the time. They seem to be having

824
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: a great time, right, Like has there been like there's

825
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:10,320
Speaker 1: not like a kid's cartoon about the world of bats. No,

826
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 1: but it feels like it would be a lot of fun. Yeah,

827
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: like the Zack Snyder Owl movie. But the Guardians, the Guardiens,

828
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: have you seen that, it's a real bummer. It turns

829
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 1: out Owl's lives are a real bummer. But I feel

830
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: like bats are having a great time. Just sore and

831
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: you're sniffing sniffing out things with the weird sonar and there.

832
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 1: I mean, your life would be honestly, Yeah, it's a

833
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,760
Speaker 1: bonus that technically hnah, it's not poop. They are pellets

834
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: and they are distinct waste material. That's yeah. I think

835
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 1: they're having a pretty good time because like they're they're

836
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 1: like bat society is surprisingly chilled, Like they're pretty social

837
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: and they're don't really fight that much. They are you know,

838
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 1: maybe they'll have the occasional squabble, but they really don't

839
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: attack each other munch. They they don't. Which is they do?

840
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: They do communal upbringing of young and they help out

841
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: new new mother bats and also guys, the the male

842
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: bats will give the females oral sex just as much

843
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: as the females give the males oral sex. Yeah, bat

844
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: society is great. Bats are having a great time, a

845
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 1: great time. And the last bat I want to talk

846
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,359
Speaker 1: about one of my favorite bats. I just love them

847
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: so much. They're called the hammer head bats, and I

848
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 1: have covered these on the show before on our Bats episode,

849
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 1: but I think they deserve an encore, especially on this

850
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: nose episode, because they have such impressive honkers. And I

851
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: really do mean honkers, because they honk with them. So.

852
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: They are large bats found in West and Central Africa,

853
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: and they are the largest bat on continental Africa, with

854
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: a wingspan of up to one meters or about three feet.

855
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: They eat fruit and they don't use that much sonar,

856
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: just like a lot of other fruit bats that don't

857
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: really need it to hunt because fruit does not generally

858
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: move around all that much. You can just swoop down

859
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: there and get it. But still, the males have this

860
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: impressively large and chalky nose. It looks like someone glued

861
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: a boombox to their faces. I want you guys to

862
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: go and appreciate the hammer head bat, Like, right now,

863
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: I have a picture of it. You've got to look

864
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: at it. The last one right that looks it looks

865
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: like a Simpsons character. It looks like, yeah, it's adorable,

866
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: it's so cute, right, Yeah, I want to boop the nose.

867
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: The nose must be booped. It's an interesting thing, right,

868
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: because they don't really need to use much echolocation. What's

869
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: with a big fancy knows uh? And it is used

870
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: to seduce the ladies, just like a boom box. They

871
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: used this box like nose as a residence chamber to honk.

872
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 1: Sexual honking the best part of right. They can do

873
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,439
Speaker 1: up to a hundred and twenty honks a minute. That

874
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: is a lot of honks. That's two honks a second, right, math, Sure, look,

875
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: I can't do math. I'll just trust whatever numbers you say.

876
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: But I think so right, Yes, sixty seconds in a minute.

877
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: A hundred twenty honks a minute would mean yeah, you're

878
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: right too. Hanks a second? Whoa, That means I did math.

879
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: Congratulation that means you did math. Oh my god, but

880
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: you win the award for best at Math on this podcast.

881
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: So when I say honk, you probably kind think of

882
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: it as like a goose honk. But the bat honking

883
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: sounds a lot more like an alien abduction than like

884
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: a car honk or a goose honk. So take a

885
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 1: listen to this, you guys. To be honest, I was,

886
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: I was hoping for a goose honk sounds like you

887
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: know sweaky hammers, those squeaky hammers that you like. Yeah,

888
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: I was hoping for a real like or like a

889
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 1: truck honk. Yeah, like like something just really disruptive. I

890
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: mean that's cool too. That sounds they make, that's what

891
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: humans used to seduce ladies, and it is really disruptive

892
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: of our lives. I want like one of those personalized honks,

893
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: like one of those horns that you get on a

894
00:59:53,040 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: car that's like, yes, every time you honk, but no,

895
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: it is the alien sounds. In fact, like people who

896
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: have to live near these bats often find them to

897
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: be quite a nuisance because of all these like alien

898
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 1: honks that keep going on every night, all night, all

899
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: the time, horny baths making lots of noise. I mean,

900
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: I love them. I think they're cute, but I suppose

901
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: I could imagine if you're trying to sleep every time

902
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: every night and then you just hear a bunch of

903
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 1: horny baths going like hey hey, hey, hey hey, it's annoying.

904
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, do they live? Where do they live? They

905
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 1: live in western Central Africa? Oh okay, so not the

906
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 1: same place as how their monkeys. Thank god that there

907
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: are parts of the world's where the screams of horny

908
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: animals are the vein of humans trying to sleep. Oh yeah,

909
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: I mean, like if you live near coyotes and foxes,

910
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: that's certainly true. We do, but we don't hear them

911
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: that much. They're they're good about it. They're polite, Yeah,

912
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: I think. Uh, I think that's a that's something that

913
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: an animal has to learn, right, is to have I

914
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 1: feel like, if they're too loud, then we'll just show

915
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: up and start killing. Yeah, I'm sorry, you want to

916
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 1: mate too loud. So they have to be polite if

917
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: they're near unless they can fly like these bets. Like,

918
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: if if they have too much of a nuisance to kill,

919
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: then they're just going to annoy it. This is why

920
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: parrots exist because they can fly away at any point. Yeah,

921
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: they can. It's like that's why they're the only talking animal.

922
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: They get to insult us and then fly away. Exactly.

923
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: We're like, I always thought it was the correct vessel

924
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: for Jello Biafra's voice to come out of was a parent.

925
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: He sounds like a human parrot. He does, he really does.

926
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: That's the that's the correct version of his voice. Who

927
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 1: is wait, sorry, repeated lead singer of Dead Kennedy. Are

928
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: you a Dead Kennedy's fan, Katie, I'm sorry. I don't

929
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: listen to music. I just listen. I don't no music.

930
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: I only listened to like horny animal sounds. That's my music.

931
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: The leader of the Dead Kenny's kind of sounds like

932
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: a horny animal. Sound like his voice seems like it

933
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 1: would come out of some kind of animal. Definitely, Like

934
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: if you can't imagine how a parrot would sing about

935
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: I might like the Dead Kennedy's then if it sounds

936
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 1: like a horny animal, I'll like it. Oh yeah, you'll
